Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 64 | I have a date with my surgeon to have this darned neuroma removed this Friday! Atleast I hope that is what it is. Both the needle biopsy and MRI were inconclusive so the surgery will tell the tale. With all this talk of recurrence, it kinda scares a gal!  Wish me luck!

Joined: May 2007 Posts: 632 | You bet I wish you luck Adele--Don't forget, there will be as many out there for whom 'problems' do not mean a recurrence, as there are who DO have one--so just hang on to that!
I'm rooting for you,

Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 64 | No neuroma it turned out to be a very swollen lymph gland it was removed and now I await to hear what it is. I am worried about lymphoma, that seems to be the name of the game...worry!
I am hoping for the best.
Trying now to recover from having this scar reopended.
